Is there a word for “word or phrase that is fun to say”?

In any language, any one of us has certain words or phrases they like to say.

For me, in English, that includes “bedazzled” and “thingamagick” among others.

Howrver, is there some kind of overarching expression for these words? I can’t think of anything in English or my native German, and a quick Internet search didn’t find anything.

Feel like this is an indirect reference to Donnie Darko.

Tolkien was known to be a big Donnie Darko fan.
